The procedure is actually quite simple. First you arrange things into two different groups depending on their makeup. Of course, one pile may be sufficient, depending on how much there is to do. If you have to go somewhere else due to lack of facilities that is the next step, otherwise you are pretty well set. It is important not to overdo any particular endeavor. That is, it is better to do too few things at once than too many. In the short run this may not seem important, but complications from doing too many can easily arise. A mistake can be expensive as well. The manipulation of the appropriate mechanisms should be self-explanatory, and we need not dwell on it here. At first the whole procedure will seem complicated. Soon, however, it will become just another facet of life. It is difficult to foresee any end to the necessity for this task in the immediate future, but then one never can tell.

Surely you recognized all the words in the paragraph. Yet, you probably still had difficulty understanding what you were reading. Don't be disappointed if you did not understand the passage or remember much of the content. Most people don't remember one thing after the first time of reading it.

Now, read the passage again, but this time keep the title "Washing Clothes" in mind. You should be able to make more sense of the passage because the title provides a meaningful context or framework for understanding the text, (Dembo et al, 38-39).
